I went to the Niagara Falls Casino with (e:mike) , (e:libertad) , (e:terry) and (e:matthew) to celebrate mike's birthday and his addiction to Gambling. With two mintes of playing the 25 cent machine I went from $20 to $43. It felt reat. Following by like two minutes on the $1 slot until I was back to $20 ;(
I really am just not into it even with all the great computer noises involved.
(e:mike) was really upset that the Birthday Spin the Wheel promotion starts Sept 1st, the day after his birthday.

Video Chat With e:lilhoCategory: peeptalk
Last night I got to video chat with (e:lilho,40823) on ichat. I am not sure why her pics didn't come out - but I took my own.
We were never able to start a video chat with more than one person, although it says you can chat with up to three people.
Of course, some pics are more important than others. This one is for (e:mike)
We have had so many comments this week! I took this pictures yesterday evening. Thanks you guys for making this site successful.

Pollution by NumberCategory: elmwood
NYS DEV7521
I love having a super fast point and shoot camera.
(e:enknot) also pointed out this is the new vision for Panos which I have to say looks pretty nice.
In an unrelated asian restaurant...
It started like this: We waited like 5 minutes to be seated in the restaurant but it was full accept for the patio in blazing sun with no one on it - or this one five person tablet that was empty in the back corner.
We ask for a table, the dude says, "How many?" I say, "three" and he says, "no table." I say, "What about that one?" and he says, "it is for five." I say, "Oh it is reserved, he says, "no it isn't, but would you like to sit outside?"
Now if I was a rational human being I could have just gave in and said no thank you and told him I was takig my business elsewhere or insisted on being seated there . Instead the sicilian in me took over and I said, "Then I will not be eating here and proceeded to leave while spitting on the inside of the glass door. Maybe, I do need anger management classes.
Its better than the time I threatened to burn down a hotel in downtown phoenix and the police had to come. Man, I used to be such a freak.

Terry's BirthdayCategory: birthdays
We went to the El Caporal for (e:terry) to have his 28th birthday dinner. He freakin' loves Mexican Food.
Their shrimp dinner was pretty good at cheap. The margarittas were only $2.
I love the mormon in the hood, they are so cute.
The love joy pool is such a crazy style. It looked like that since I was a kid. I don't know if it is really a pool or not anymore.
And yes, (e:terry) did get his xBox 360 elite along with Viva Pinata.

Late Happy Birthday. I have been to that place twice and by mistake got the same thing both times it was very good. The funny thing is both times I went the people I went with didn't know how to explain what flavors those colored pops or drinks where so I didn't get one. Terry does look like he is going to go do something with that xbox is Viva Pinata the same as the Cartoon or are they unrelated?

Elmwood Arts FestivalCategory: festivals
The elmwood arts festival is great. Well, at least when you don't live there. I remember living on Lafayette and Elmwood, the stage was right outside our bedroom window. It was insane to wake up to testing 1, 2, 3.
I really go just for the artichokes. They are so good, I have a hard time deciding what kind to get. Does anyone know if these people ahev a restaurant somewhere? I think they are caled "Artichoke French."

I admit that I have never bet at a Casino before. But since I have played 21 before I might like blackjack but when you are playing with real money it kinda changes things I would think. If you want to play a game where the odds are different there is rulete but it seems like in that game you really have no action you just pick a place on a board and hope. It sounds like you all had a good time though.
Aren't random reinforcement schedules a bitch?
